.June 19 2- 5. LI KRAMER v SCARF AND SASH Filed June 19, 1940 INVENTORPatented June 30, 1942 1 UNITED STATES TNT are 6 Claims.

This invention relates to wearing apparel and particularly to animproved scarf, an object being to present a pleasing structure whichmay be quickly and easily adjusted in place.

Another object of the invention is to provide a scarf wherein a ringstructureis provided at one point through which portions of the body ofthe scarf are pulled to adjust the scarf to the correct position aroundthe neck of the wearer and to hold the scarf in that position.

A further and more detailed object of the invention is to provide ascarf formed from a substantially rectangular piece of fabric and toconstrict one end so that a ring may be secured thereto, which ring maybe of textile fabric, metal, or other material; and positioned so thatthe axis of the ring will extend substantially longitudinally andcentrally of the scarf body.

In the accompanying drawing- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a scarfembodying the invention, the same being shown applied to a figure;

Fig. 4 is an elevation of the piece of textile fabric from which thebody of the scarf shown in Fig. 3 is formed;

Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 1 but showing one end puckered orgathered by suitable stitchmg;

Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 5 but showing a partly finished textilering stitched in place;

Fig. '7 is a sectional view through Fig. 6 on the line 1-1, the samebeing on an enlarged scale;

Fig. 8 is a fragmentary perspective view showing one end of the ring andpart of the scarf after the end portions of the ring have been stitchedtogether;

Fig. 9 shows the ring member of Fig. 8 folded over to straddle thepuckered end of the body of the scarf;

Fig. 10 is a perspective view of the ring end of the scarf after thering has been completely attached;

Fig. 11 is a perspective view of the scarf looped so that the front endmay be readily passed through the ring end.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, I indicates the scarfbody which is formed preferably from a rectangular piece of textilefabric, as shown Fig. 4. This fabric is puckered or tucked at 2 and thispuckering or gathering is held in a desired position by a suitable lineof stitching 3. A rectangular piece of textile fabric 4 is then stitchedin place by a line of stitching 5. The fabric 4 'ispreferably cut on thebias with the edges folded at 6 and 7. The stitching 5 extendsthroughthe folded edge I and through the puckered end 2 of the body 1.

After the parts have been constructed up to the point shown in Fig. 6,the turned-over edge 6 is turned up and the ends brought together sothat a line of stitching 8 may be applied for connecting the endstogether and thereby making a ring'from the fabric 4 as illustrated inFig. 8. After this has been done, the folded edge 6 is folded back toits former position and then folded over the upper end of the puckeredportion 2 so as to straddle the same, as shown in Fig. 9. A row of handstitching 9 is then applied for holding the completed fabric ring It infunctioning position. While normally the stitching 9 is adapted to bearranged interiorly of the ring, as shown in Fig. 10, it will be evidentthat the scarf could be worn with either side facing outwardly.

After the stitching 9 has been placed in position and the ring bodyturned inside out, the completed scarf will appear as shown in Fig. 3.It will be apparent that the ring I0 is disposed laterally on theextremity of one end of said piece 4. The opening of the ring is in thedirection of the lengthof the scarf. When in this position the scarf isready for use and may be looped around the neck, as shown in Figs. 1 and3, and then the free end H passed through the ring l0 and pulled until adesired fit is secured. This ring presents an ornamental effect and, inaddition, mechanically holds the parts in the desired positionnotwithstanding the movements of the neck or the clothing of the personusing the scarf.

It will, of course, be evident that the free end portion ll could .betucked beneath the coat of the user or left exteriorly thereof. While atextile fabric ring ID has been presented it will be evident that, ifdesired, rings of other material may be used, and also gold or otherprecious material may be employed and may be ornamented with a diamondor other ornamentation, without departing from the spirit of theinvention.

While the scarf is preferably elongated or more or less rectangular, itwill be evident that it could be made square or other shape providedthat On one of the extremities a ring l0 were provided and arranged tohold the parts in a desired position as shown in Fig. 1.

I claim:

1. A scarf including an elongated piece of textile fabric and a ringconnected to one end thereof disposed laterally thereon with its openingin the direction of the length of the scarf, so that the other end maybe passed therethrough.

2. A scarf including a body of textile fabric having one edge gathered,a ring, and means for securing said ring to said body along the gatherededge disposed laterally with respect to one end of said body, theopening of the ring being in the direction of the length of the scraf,so that the other end may be passed through the ring.

3. A scarf including a piece of textile fabric, means at one end of thefabric for gathering the same, a ring structure, and stitching forsecuring said ring structure to said gathered end disposed laterallywith respect thereto, the opening of the ring structure being in thedirection of the length of the scarf, so that the other end of saidpiece may be passed through said ring structure.

4. A scarf including a piece of textile fabric, stitching for holdingone end of the fabric puckered, a ring structure substantiallystraddling said puckered end and stitching for permanently securing thering structure to the puckered end disposed so that the other end ofsaid piece may be passed endwise through said ring structure.

5. A scarf including an elongated substantially rectangular body oftextile fabric, means for gathering one end edge of said body, a ringsubstantially U-shaped in cross section formed from a substantiallyrectangular piece of textile fabric. a line of stitching connecting theedge of one wall of said ring to the gathered end of said body, theother wall of said ring being extended over the edge of said gatheredend, and a line of stitching for securing said other wall of said ringto the opposite side of said body whereby said ring will straddle saidgathered end and be disposed at one side of said end for the purposespecified.

6. A scarf including a piece of textile fabric, a ring structure oftextile fabric substantially straddling said piece of textile fabric atone end and stitched for permanently securing the ring structure to saidpiece of textile fabric disposed so that the other end of said piece maybe passed through said ring structure to provide a neck-encircling loopand a portion depending from said loop.
